Microvesicles as Emerging Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Cardiometabolic Diseases

Microvesicles (MVs, also known as microparticles) are small vesicles that originate from plasma membrane of almost all eukaryotic cells during apoptosis or activation. MVs can serve as extracellular vehicles to transport bioactive molecules from their parental cells to recipient target cells, thereb...
